In XGIfb_mode_rate_to_ddata() we have:
int B, C, D, F, temp, j;
The A and E variables were removed when the code was refactored. ;P Places like this are fairly rare in the kernel outside of the staging/ directory.
There are lots of times where a single letter variable name is very natural.
char c;
C is terse. This is explained in Documentation/CodingStyle.
